LaQuatre Rhodes, DO

Dr. LaQuatre Rhodes is a Pediatric Gastroenterologist. At an early age she had a passion for science and interacting with people which ignited her interest in medicine and aspiration of becoming a Pediatrician. She earned her medical degree from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. She then completed her Pediatric Residency training at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport and Pediatric Gastroenterology fellowship at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-New Orleans. Dr. Rhodes loves the vast pathology of the GI system and unique structure-function relationships which provides the opportunity to care for patients with a multitude of conditions. She has interests in nutrition, IBD, NASH, and obesity. Each patient encounter is challenging and rewarding and there's not a day she regrets going into this field.

Dr. Rhodes is also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. She is an advocate for the community and highly involved with service geared toward teens. When not at work, she enjoys playing and watching sports, spending time with family and friends, enjoys the arts (ballet, tap, jazz, etc), and listening to music and attending performances.

Dr. Rhodes is inspired by those who paved the way for the many opportunities she has been afforded to reach her goals of becoming a physician. "Every dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." This quote by Harriet Tubman continues to motivate and inspire Dr. Rhodes as she continues to pursue her passion in medicine and the challenges that accompany it.
